Subscribing to this thread. Swimming as primary is exactly what I've been researching. 🙏

OP here — wow, did not expect this much response! Thank you all for the thoughtful replies on Swimming as primary.

To answer DebRD_ATL: I started tracking everything in a spreadsheet from day 1.

Quick update: I will post a proper update thread soon. Thanks again for the evidence-based discussion — this is exactly why I posted in a science-based community. 🙏

+1 to anna.melb_AU. Especially the point about "Thank you all for the thoughtful replies..." — I have seen the same in my own experience with Swimming as primary.

Slightly tangential to Swimming as primary but DoseLogDan reminded me — has anyone else noticed changes in their alcohol tolerance?

I know it is not exactly on-topic but it seems related enough to ask here rather than starting a new thread. Apologies if this has been covered — I did search first.
